Drew, Is that your own pattern or can I make it also?:clap It is hard to find crochet vest patterns that look modern and not boring....Please let me know...

Thanks for the kudos everyone!!! :bow

The vest is easy to make. It goes from back to front in one piece. Using your own measurements ch enough to go from your waist in the front to your waist in the back (the one I made is actually longer than waist length). Crochet using your favorite stitch combos until the vest is half the width you want it. Stitch until halfway from back to front, ch the length that you want the V-neck to be, skip that many sts on the vest and continue hooking. Crochet again until the vest is the width you'd like it. Seam from waist to armpit on both sides. Voila! It's a vest. The chunkier the yarn, the quicker it goes! :devil
